From the late 30's. In the mid 80's his stuff started looking like strobes still good though. Maybe missing something. My windowlight here in my house/studio was never much good. I had in my shooting area the window blocked over so I shoot in a hermetriclly sealed strobe lit environment. But my back yard is an option. I might set up a seamless back there. Markwr
